Portrait Painting Tutorial | Keeping it Classical – Real Time
In this week’s portrait painting video we are going to keep it classical. We will start off with a charcoal drawing directly onto our canvas, go over that with pastel pencil, and then create an underpainting. This is a very relaxing way of working, and it’s also an “old master” style approach. Now, I’m not trying to perfectly copy the photograph, nor am I claiming that any old master actually painted like this. This is purely aimed at guiding you through an “old master” inspired painting demonstration.
